#Once in a while

Sometimes you crawl into bed at 10:30PM and are super proud of everything you have accomplished during the day, and are excited for a good night's rest.

Sometimes you watch power rangers on netflix from 10:30 until 11:00 when you finally fall asleep.

Sometimes you accidentally wake up at 2:30 in the morning because you had a bad dream.

Sometimes when you wake up at 2:30 in the morning you get up to pee because you think maybe if you relieve your bladder you will be able to sleep.

Sometimes when you're up to pee at 2:30 in the morning you turn on the bathroom light because you would fall on your face if you didn't.

Sometimes you get back into bed after your 2:30 AM pee and regret every decision you made up until that point because now you are wide awake.

Sometimes after you are wide awake from your 2:30 AM pee you send messages to all the people who messaged you while you were sleeping.

Sometimes after you message people at 2:30 in the morning you get bored of waiting for a response so you start watching more power rangers on netflix.

Sometimes after 4 episodes of power rangers you realize you are literally watching the exact same story line over and over and decide to watch a movie.

Sometimes while browsing for movie you come across a different TV show called life unexpected and decide to try it out.

Sometimes after watching 3 episodes of life unexpected - which turned out to be a terrible show with lots of good looking people - your alarm goes off and angrily tells you it's time to get up for school.

Sometimes after getting up and getting ready for school you look out the window and see a fresh blanket of snow on the ground and think "Teehee! Winter's here!"

Sometimes after getting in your car to go to school you drive for half an hour just to make it 3 block from your house.

Sometimes you just have to say "Screw this day" turn around, go home, nap, drink tea, eat grilled cheese, and do some 'independent reading'.

Today just happened to be one of those days.

Jan 10:Day 10 - my day was just described up there. In my blog post. Right there! #soberjanuary #obivouslyobvious

#Grade 7 Science

Problem: Is the fact that Rye spends most of her time watching nature documentaries affecting how long it takes her to get her homework done?

Hypothesis: If the time spent watching nature documentaries directly affects the completion of Rye's homework then Rye's homework will be completed in a more timely fashion if she stops watching so many documentaries.

Materials: 

- Nature Docmentaries (Wild China - BBC)

- Homework (written assignment's for clinical)

- Laptop

Variables:

Independent - amount of time watching nature documentaries

Dependent - amount of time it takes to complete homework

Controlled - amount of homework to complete

Procedure:

1. Watch nature documentary for X amount of time.

2. Complete half of homework.

3. Record time results.

4. Watch nature documentary for 1/2 the amount of time in step 1.

5. Complete second half of homework.

6. Record time results.

Results: It took the same amount of time to complete both halves of homework. Rye found other ways to be distracted for the second half of homework completion (ex: writing a lab report about nature documentaries and doing homework)

Conclusion: Does the amount of time Rye spends watching nature documentaries affect the amount of homework done in a specified time period? The watching of nature documentaries is not directly related to the completion of Rye's homework. The fact that she likes to dick around, that she went to Bishop Carroll and perfected the art of procrastination, and that finds literally any excuse not to do work is the reason it takes her so long to do homework. The End.

#Frog Legs

So I found this super awesome picture that is now the background to my computer.

Because sometimes life gives you situations and objects that seem to be holding you back.

But you have to roll with it, and use it to push you forward.

Basically this is a blahblahbepositiveblah post.

Boring. Awesome.

Change of pace for a second maybe?

This frog is see through and you can see it's organs!!

That is a real alive frog, people!

Eeps. Between this guy, and the teeny frogs on the reptiles episode of BBC life, froggies are fast becoming my favourite animals.

I feel like I can really relate to them.

They also look gross and slimy like me when I don't shower! And have big eyes on the side of their heads except mine a slightly more centred and Asian. And they have long sticky tongues, like me!! And they have webbed feet, which I do not, but I think it would be super cool!

Anyway, back to things that are not frogs, here's the quote and the picture I was talking about earlier. 

"If we see the exact same event from a different perspective we will see an entirely different event.

We can not control the wind.

But we CAN control our sail as it catches the wind.

Learn to set the sails of your perspective and use the winds to move your forward, forward to your goal."

Thank you picture, for making me realize this 3000 word essay is not holding me back from sleep, a social life and happiness; it is merely teaching me that I should learn my lesson about procrastination. Or that I should drop a class the second I hear the words "3000 word essay" at the beginning. Either or.

#If you wanna be my lovaaaa

I have Mad Cow Disease.

Legitimately. Mad cow. Not Creutzfeldt-Jakobs (look it up. or head on down to wikipedia), Mad Cow.

Reasoning

#1. I can't focus.

#2. My lips are chappy.

#3. I talk to myself a lot. 

#4. I have six stomachs.

#5. I have a runny nose.

#6. My left eye is itching right now.

#7. I am angry. But not really. I think I am more mad than cows though, I feel like cows don't get mad very often. I think they like to forgive.

Okay, before you go off on me, I am aware that none of those things are symptoms for Mad Cow. Except the last one. I am pretty sure it is vital for you to be at least as mad as a cow for you to have Mad Cow. And number four. Because cows and I have that in common.

I just really don't want to get up early for school tomorrow.

BUT I get to throw balls at people's faces all morning. Which will be nice I think.

Maybe I'll put off having Mad Cow for a day when I don't get to throw balls at peoples faces.

Yes. That's what I'll do.

I no longer have Mad Cow.

#Ihatemylifeihatemylifeiheatemylifeihatemylife

I don't really hate my life. I just hate how much homework I have right at this very moment in time.

Homework, I hate you. You ruin my nights.

Just kidding, I don't hate you, I just strongly strongly dislike you.

Looooove Rye.
